13w38b is the sixth snapshot for Java Edition 1.7.2, released on September 20, 2013,[1] to fix some of the bugs and crashes in 13w38a and add a warning message in the title screen for graphics cards that do not support OpenGL 2.1.

Additions

General

Options

  • "Super Secret Settings"
    • Added bumpy shader.

Changes

Blocks

Air

  • Redefined the concept of air.[2]
    • Is now an actual block instead of the absence of a block (null).[3]
  • It can be kept in the inventory.
    • When in the inventory, dropped, and inside an item frame, it uses the missing texture, but when held in the player's hand, it appears entirely invisible.
  • Drops from entities that would normally drop nothing, including villagers, bats, silverfish, and the ender dragon.

World generation

Swampland

General

Title screen

Old graphics card warning in the title screen.
  • A warning message now appears on computers with a graphics card that does not support OpenGL 2.1, warning the player that their configuration may prevent them from playing a future version.
    • Clicking on the warning will take the player to a page on the Mojang Support website, with more information about Minecraft's system requirements.[5]
